This Forehead Primer Is Botox In A Bottle

As we get older, many of us have the same goal when it comes to our skin: to fill in lines, blur out any imperfections and have a complexion that sings ‘why yes, I did just sleep 8 hours and sipped on a green smoothie after yoga.’

Some of us are happy to let nature do its thing. Some of us prefer to hit it head on with needles and lasers. But most of us tackle it with good old fashioned skincare and makeup.

While foundation has its place, it’s the base coat that really puts in the leg work. And decoding makeup primers is a complex business. There’s different formulas designed for our lashes, lips and everything in-between with picks that promise to illuminate, hydrate and brighten.

But even with the host on offer, none have come to the rescue when it comes to actually filling wrinkles. Until now.

Introducing Revlon Youth FX Fill and Blur Forehead Primer, $29.95, which, you guessed it, works to hit the one area most of us would like to see a little bit smoother – our foreheads.

Nail polish? Nope.

So how does it work? Upon application with the nifty little paintbrush, the formula fills in visible wrinkles to create a smooth, even surface that still moves and bends as opposed to sitting on top of the skin looking cakey. Not unlike a magic trick, the combination of soft focus powders scatters light, 'blurring' the wrinkle and making it less visible. It effectively mimics the smoothness of Botox, until of course, the clock strikes midnight and you wash it off.

Sure, it might not make you look like you’re about to step out for your Year 12 formal, but it’s definitely worth a shot if you’re not in the market for injectables (or just in-between jabs, no judgement here.)
